TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is no sound from any of the speakers:

Check that receiver/ampli- fier is on and a source is playing.

Check that the powered subwoofer is plugged in, and that its Power switch ¡ is switched on (“” position).

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:

Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure that the receiver/processor is config- ured so that the speaker in question is enabled.

Turn off all electronics

and switch the speaker in question with one of the

other speakers that is work- ing correctly. Turn every- thing back on, and deter- mine whether the problem has followed the speaker, or has remained in the same channel. If the problem is in the same channel, the source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or amplifier, and you should consult the owner’s manual for that product for further informa- tion. If the problem has fol- lowed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assis- tance or, if that is not possi- ble, visit www.jbl.com for further information.

If there is no sound from the center speaker:

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speaker. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touch- ing each other.

If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby Pro Logic mode, make sure the center speaker is not in phantom mode.

If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure the receiver/ processor is configured so that the center speaker is enabled.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum imped- ance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is low (or no) bass output:

Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarity (+ and –).

Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet, and is turned on (Power switch ¡ in the “” position).

In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is config- ured so that the subwoofer and LFE output are enabled.
